  • Cross Cultural Relationships

    Cross Cultural Relationships
    Jul 27 2025
    A lot has been written and said about interracial or inter-religious relationships and the challenges they pose, but really these differences are only a part of what Alvean and Doug describe as cross cultural relationships because they involve more than race or faith, but a matrix of language, behavior social and cultural norms that may be wide or narrowly different between partners. In this episode, Alvean and Doug offer some thoughts on how to energize and remain open to thsoe diferences seeing them as opportunities rather than obstacles. For a full transcript, click here: LL10

    Blending families
    Jul 20 2025
    Whether as a result of divorce, widowhood, or other circumstances second marriages often face the prospect of combining families. Where children are involved this is a delicate and potentially difficult proposition but also one that can be rewarding and a significant improvement for all involved. The results turn on how well the prospective partners relate to and communicate with their children in the months/years prior to combining their households and families. Alvean and Doug take on this tricky subject with lots of good counsel for all concerned, parents and children. For a full transcript, click here: LL09

  • When the woman makes more

    When the woman makes more
    Jul 13 2025
    It has become increasingly common to find that traditional gender roles in the household are no longer --well, traditional. Who is the primary housekeeper, parent, breadwinner? It isn't always what one might expect which raises some questions about how best to navigate the relationship when the traditional roles no longer apply. For many men, being the stay at home father/homekeeper is a delight but for others it is a challenge when one's spouse or partner makes more. And it isn't limited to men and women--the same inequity questions can crop up in same sex relationships as well. That's in part because money often is viewed as power affecting the balance of the arrangement. Alvean and Doug talk about this perceived inequity and related questions in this episode, a complete transcript of which is available here: LL08
